Pardon me to bump and burst but I got no reply of any manner at all while I am convinced my report was quite descriptive... I understand that I may not be so reputative now as I've not shown up for years since I
started all this mod compilation idea on Qhimm but any respectful reply would be very kind for any user asking...
One more try:
1. Installed FF7 from original disc to D:\Final Fantasy VII
2. Extracted Bootleg 40 to D:\Bootleg\Mods along with all downloaded mods
3. Ran BFE.exe and set up my choices, then ran Bootleg
4. After completing the whole process this is from my D:\Final Fantasy VII\data\sound\BootlegSFX_log.txt

I've read about this step in description...
Improved SFX, by ArmorVil
FILES: new sfx.rar, new sfx.rar, EditedSFX.rar, 139 beta.rar
NOTE: Two archives share the name 'new sfx.rar' but contain different sounds. Be careful not to replace one with the other.
TOOL: Cosmo
NOTE: Replace selected sound effects using Cosmo
NOTE: One of the sound files in Armorvil's 'new sfx.rar' is in the wrong format for Cosmo to load: '254-change clothes.wav' fails on replace.
WARNING: Do not use the sound 438-applause.wav because the game crashes during the theater scene in the Golden Saucer.
WARNING: Do not use the sound 217-snoring.wav because the game crashes when entering the cave with the sleeping man.
Extract files from ArmorVil's 'new sfx.rar' into the folder C:\temp\sfx\
Extract files from ae2011's 'new sfx.rar' into the folder C:\temp\sfx\
Extract files from 'EditedSFX.rar' into the folder C:\temp\sfx\
Extract files from '139 beta.rar' into the folder C:\temp\sfx\
Repairing '254-change clothes.wav'
Load the file in a sound edit such as Audacity.
Save the file in this format: Microsoft ADPCM, 44100 Khz, 4bits, Mono
Run .\tools\cosmo095c\Cosmo.exe
In the menu, select TOOLS | AUDIO EDITOR and open .\data\sound\audio.fmt
Select and replace each sound in the editor with the corresponding sound in C:\temp\sfx\
...however it does not quite match exactly what's happening in Bootleg.bat - that one is installing this mod by running BootlegSFX.exe after copying it to %FF7Path%\data\sound\
And then the conclusion is written to BootlegSFX_log.txt.
No matter how much I try I always get
Error Target folder not found. (1004)
Error Patch failed. (1004)
which is odd and I don't understand the error.
Even more odd that this is what I get in Bootleg.log
Installing Armorvil's Bootlegged Sound Effects . . .
Completed Bootleg SFX Patch.
Help anyone?
